In-house · Since 2002

We build torches. We fix torches. It's the whole point.

Custom MIG, TIG and Plasma torches manufactured in our own Spartan workshop. Same-workshop repairs across all major brands. Quoted before you ship anything.

Workshop-built.
Welder-trusted.
One of South Africa's largest custom torch manufacturers.

Custom torch manufacture

MIG, TIG, Plasma — built to your spec.

Every torch we build comes off the same bench, made by the same welders who've been doing it for years. You tell us the machine, cable length, connector, and cooling type. We quote. We build. We test. You get a torch that works with what you already own — not a generic import that mostly fits.

MIG torches

Air-cooled and water-cooled MIG torches from 150A through to 500A duty. Standard Euro connector or built to match your machine. Cable lengths from 3m through to 8m — longer on request.

See MIG machines →

TIG torches

Air-cooled TIG torches (WP-17, WP-26 style) and water-cooled (WP-18, WP-20). Custom cable lengths, valve or valveless, gas hose configuration to suit your regulator.

See TIG machines →

Plasma torches

Hand-torch and machine-torch plasma builds for Hypertherm and other leading systems. Tips, electrodes, swirl rings, and shields are matched to the torch and confirmed for availability.

How it works

Three steps. Quote before you commit.

1

Tell us what you're welding on

Send us the make and model of your welding machine, the cable length you need, the connector type (Euro, Trafimet, Binzel, etc.), and whether you want air-cooled or water-cooled. Not sure? Photograph the current torch and WhatsApp it — we'll work it out.

2

We assess the requirement

You get a firm price, a build timeframe, and honest advice if a standard off-the-shelf torch would do the same job for less. We won't sell you a custom build you don't need.

3

We build and test

The torch is built and tested on our bench. Delivery or collection arrangements and the applicable workmanship warranty are confirmed in the quote before the build starts.

Repairs

WhatsApp a photo. Send the details for a workshop assessment.

Machine repairs and torch repairs across all major brands — Miller, Lincoln Electric, Hypertherm, ESAB, Kemppi, Fronius, Migatronic, and the rest. You don't need to book a slot, fill in a form, or drop it off first. WhatsApp a photo of what's wrong, tell us what it's doing (or not doing), and we'll quote before you courier it over.

Why in-house matters

Built and repaired in a working torch workshop.

Most South African welding suppliers don't build torches — they import them and sell them. When one breaks, it goes back to the distributor, then to the manufacturer, then sits on a shelf overseas waiting for parts. Weeks pass. Sometimes months.

Because the assessment and repair happen on our own bench, the workshop team can explain the fault, parts requirement, and expected timing before work proceeds.

That's the difference. Not marketing. Just where the work happens. Curious who's on the bench? Meet the team →

Common questions

Straight answers before you ask.

How long does a custom torch take to build?
Timing depends on the torch type, cable length, connector, cooling setup, parts availability, and current workshop load. We confirm the expected turnaround in the quote before the build starts. For the most accurate lead time, send us the machine make and model, torch requirements, and any useful photos on WhatsApp. WhatsApp your torch details →
Do you repair torches you didn't build?
Yes. We repair torches and welding machines from all major brands — Miller, Lincoln, Hypertherm, ESAB, Kemppi, Fronius, and the rest. WhatsApp us a photo and we'll quote.
Can you match a torch to a machine I already own?
That's most of what we do. Tell us the machine make and model (or send a photo of the current torch), and we'll build to fit. Euro, Trafimet, Binzel — every common connector, plus custom.
Do you courier nationally?
Courier options and costs depend on the job and destination. We confirm the transport arrangement when quoting the repair or new build.
What warranty do custom torches carry?
The applicable workmanship warranty, exclusions, and wear-part treatment are confirmed in the quote before the build starts.
Can you fix printed circuit boards on welding machines?
Component-level PCB repairs, yes. We don't just swap boards — we diagnose and repair down to the component, which usually saves the client significant cost.
